Setting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Happy Independence Day to all of my American friends. 245 years ago, we became a new nation dedicated to certain unalienable rights. Where anyone can love as they choose. Yes, our country is deeply flawed, but what can tomorrow look like. And yes, we are watching 1776 and seeing the challenges in forming our country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We celebrate our independence from the British Empire, who is now one of our closest friends. We celebrate a chance to set our own course and determine our own future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

in today’s world, we celebrate person lal independence. We try to be strong on our own without needing help from anyone. We look at people who pull themselves up by their bootstraps as people we need to celebrate and emulate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God tells a different story. He doesn’t want us to be independent. He says all things are possible through him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s Questions: Are you independent or subservient? If you are, who are you subservient to? How does not being indeoendt help you? Does it change your outlook on life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
